William Lawrence, a co-founder of the Sunrise Movement who is running for the Democratic nomination in the state’s 7th congressional district, made his comments on the Sept. 10, 2024 episode of his podcast, Hegemonicon, which featured conversations about social movements and politics.

“The extent to which the older generation of Black political leadership are such a pillar, frankly, for establishment, capitalist, imperialist American power through their role as this kind of traditionalist, establishment-ist pillar of the Democratic Party, it’s a big problem,” Lawrence said around the 41:48 mark of the podcast. “It’s a big problem for left politics in this country. And it gets us every single time. It really defangs the white left and puts us in impossible positions, really.”

I'm glad i'm not a lawyer but i'm especially glad i'm not one of OpenAI's lawyers because holy shit are they fucked if Apple has (or can get) evidence of this

Case 5:26-cv-07078 Document 1 Filed 07/10/26 Page 25 of 41

D. OpenAI has been attempting to conceal its trade secret misappropriation.

84. OpenAI has actively coached Apple employees on how to manage their exits from Apple in ways that avoid scrutiny. This helps OpenAI’s new hires evade Apple’s security procedures
and reduce the chance that their confidentiality violations and trade secret theft would be detected. OpenAI has been circulating to their new hires an internal Apple document bearing a “Need to Know” designation before they give notice to Apple of their departures. OpenAI has counseled departing employees not to disclose their next employer and given advice on how to avoid the “dreaded walk out” that would promptly remove them from the company rather than giving them a standard two weeks in which they could continue to access Apple’s confidential information and trade secrets. And, review of Apple-issued work laptops has revealed that OpenAI has been advising Apple’s departing employees that they “won’t sign anything at the exit interview” and is instructing them that if Apple personnel “do ask you to sign anything” to let OpenAI know “asap.”

85. Unsurprisingly, Apple has uncovered a concerning recent pattern among employees who depart and then go work for OpenAI. Departing employees have been taking actions to evade security measures, such as failing to provide two-weeks’ notice, and ignoring outreach by security personnel to schedule exit processes and security reviews, all of which may help to conceal the misuse and misappropriation of confidential information.

if we consult the chart, we can see why they're concerned

3x3 grid-style meme chart comparing three strategies: Aura Farming, Shitposting, and Acting Normal (used as both row and column headers). Each cell shows the outcome of that matchup:

Aura Farming vs. Aura Farming: Stronger aura farmer wins
Aura Farming vs. Shitposting: Shitposter wins
Aura Farming vs. Acting Normal: Aura farmer wins

Shitposting vs. Aura Farming: Shitposter wins
Shitposting vs. Shitposting: Society loses
Shitposting vs. Acting Normal: Acting normal wins

Acting Normal vs. Aura Farming: Aura farmer wins
Acting Normal vs. Shitposting: Acting normal wins
Acting Normal vs. Acting Normal: We live in a society

i love my stupid son so much he was trapped in this pet carrier with my other cat for like twelve hours today, and now that we're all situated back at home, he's just chilling inside that which until an hour ago was his prison

this feels relevant

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

right now my faves are the ones that are angry about other people running against Platner

>But I'll leave you with four examples of Dems doing it right: Zorhan Mamdani, David Hogg, Kat Abughazaleh, Graham Platner.

>Shockingly the DNC hates the first two, ignores the third, and is actively running a candidate against last in favor of establishment Dems that opened the door for Trump.

i think i can mostly wrap my head around an externalizer, but yeah, maybe not an abuser i don't know where the line is, in between victim blaming and saying "yo, that coyote over there has sure eaten a lot of your cats. looking kinda rotund lately. oh, you're heading back to the shelter?"

Imagine a life free of thinking.

>you just literally said if you disagree with a trans woman (tell trans people how wrong they are you are by default a transphobe.

>You also baselessly said i want to remove their right to live as and be recognized as women.

oh yikes see, *sometimes* i can clock a problem right away (and if anyone tells me i'm not allowed to use the word "clock" because it's inherently transphobic, i'm going to mute that person)

>i said they were socialized male, not "male brained", and that is a simple fact. It is insane to think that has no baring on ones outlook.

>if i were raised male and treated like my brother, i would be very different today. He is selfish, does not consider others, because from childhood he was more important than the female children.

>but i wasnt raised like that, and even when hurt very badly (by mostly males) all i think to do is try to help others.

i'm glad i was reminded of this article

screenshot from quoted article

In addition to producing salmon, this extraordinary experiment has yielded a huge amount of data. Within a few months after the ocean-fertilizing operation, NASA satellite images taken from orbit showed a powerful growth of phytoplankton in the waters that received the Haida’s iron. It is now clear that, as hoped, these did indeed serve as a food source for zooplankton, which in turn provided nourishment for multitudes of young salmon, thereby restoring the depleted fishery and providing abundant food for larger fish and sea mammals. In addition, since those diatoms that were not eaten went to the bottom, a large amount of carbon dioxide was sequestered in their calcium carbonate shells.
